Here’s why the Conflux price is going up today

Conflux price went parabolic on Tuesday, surging by over 40% amid enthusiasm about the upcoming upgrade and its yuan-based stablecoin efforts.

Conflux (CFX) token surged to a high of $0.2730, its highest point since April last year, and is now up 370% from its lowest point this year, giving it a market capitalization of over $1.3 billion.

Conflux 3.0 hype continues ahead of community call

The CFX token surged in a high-volume environment, with daily volume rising by over 425% to $772 million. Its futures open interest also jumped to over $164 million, up from Monday’s $98 million.

The rally followed confirmation that the quarterly community call will take place on Wednesday. This call will highlight second-quarter activity and provide a sneak peek at the upcoming Conflux 3.0 upgrade.

The upgrade and hard fork, scheduled for August, will improve performance by increasing transaction throughput from the current 3,000–6,000 transactions per second to 15,000.

Most notably, Conflux 3.0 will introduce support for artificial intelligence agents. This improvement will enable developers to create AI-enabled products and services.

Another key feature is a pilot for an offshore yuan-backed stablecoin. Developed in collaboration with AnchorX, the CNH stablecoin aims to enhance cross-border payments and the settlement of real-world assets, also known as RWA.

Conflux 3.0 will also implement both proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanisms to boost scalability and decentralization. As a result, CFX price is soaring as investors anticipate developers will announce the official release date during the community call.
